As its forces launched a ground assault into the enclave, Israel kept bombing Gaza today. After approximately 1,400 people were killed in an attack by Hamas on Israeli towns on October 7, Israel began bombarding Gaza. In addition, at least 239 hostages were taken by Hamas agents.
The Israeli government claims that more than half of the hostages detained by Hamas are foreign nationals, including 54 Thais, who hold passports from 25 different countries.
Ground Force Attacks
Medical authorities report that 8,005 people have died in the Gaza Strip, including 3,324 minors, as a result of the severe humanitarian crisis. With a vast tunnel network in and around Gaza City, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to “crush” Hamas operatives.
A fighter jet struck a building that housed more than 20 Hamas terrorist operatives, and the Israeli army killed “dozens of terrorists” in fighting that continued into the night in Gaza.
On Sunday, more than thirty aid trucks arrived in Gaza, making it the biggest convoy since supplies started to come in again more than a week ago.
In the wake of US sanctions against three of its shareholders for their support of the Hamas group, Turkish real estate investment fund Trend GYO has declared that it does not give financial support to any group.
Between Saturday and Sunday, 302 Palestinians were reported killed in Gaza, bringing the total number of reported deaths in Gaza since hostilities began to 8,005, according to the United Nations humanitarian organization OCHA.
6,71,000 of the approximately 1.4 million internally displaced people in Gaza as of Sunday were taking refuge in 150 UNRWA facilities. The Israeli military has launched strikes on military infrastructure within Syria as concerns that the Israel-Hamas war may escalate into a larger conflict mount.
